FAQs

  • DO YOU RECYCLE SPOOLS?
    We do not currently have a recycling program available for our Spools. We recommend reaching out to a level 7 Recycling center as they will be more than happy to assist you with recycling the spools.
  • IS PLA FILAMENT FOOD SAFE?
    Currently, the FDA has not approved PLA as a food safe material. However, the equivalent of the FDA within the European Union declared PLA food safe a long time ago. However, for liability reasons, LynX cannot recommend using PLA with food products as per the current FDA recommendation.
  • I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLA AND PPLA.
    The PPLA has even lower warpage then PLA, slightly stronger, and has a nice almost matte sheen to the finish. It’s a bit harder to dial in the settings the PLA, but once dialed in it’s amazing to work with.
  • WHAT PERCENT WOOD IS IN THE WOOD PLA?
    The wood fiber percentage is 11% recycled wood.
  • CAN WOOD PLA BE STAINED?
    To Stain the Wood PLA, we recommend sanding down the filament and then using a wood stain. It is best to treat it as you would regular wood
  • IS IT HARMFUL TO BREATHE IN THE FUMES FROM 3D PRINTING? DO YOU RECOMMEND A VENTILATED ROOM?
    We always recommend printing in a well-ventilated, cool, dry, and dust-free room, regardless of the type of filament you are using. This especially important when printing with ABS and PETG filaments. Prolonged exposure to the fumes from the filament can cause you to feel nauseated or have headaches.
  • I'M LOOKING TO PRINT WATER TIGHT PARTS WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO USE
    Any filament is fine for a watertight print, as long as the design is watertight. For example, if you're looking to print a bowl, any of the plastics will hold the water given a good design. We recommend using a mesh program to ensure that your prints are watertight.
  • DO YOU HAVE THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) OR THE SAFETY DATA SHEET FOR (SDS) PLA?
    Yes, our SDS is universal for all color and sizes of PLA material.
